Around the Blogosphere: September 4, 2011

Fall means the return of our favorite television programs, football season (maybe for you, but not for me), and also marks the return of Around the Blogosphere here at LongLostRelatives.net.

Summer activities have made it difficult to keep up with all of the genealogy blogs, but here are a few of my favorite posts from recent blogs:

The story of Sarah Alexander Lawton from On the Trail of Hillhouse by Jan Eloise Morris. I'll admit I'm a bit prejudiced since Jan is a long time friend, but a new blogger. She's a gifted writer and photographer who melds the two into fascinating pictorial essays about her family.

Barbara Poole from Life From the Roots has a knack for seeing things through her camera lens. I love the way she shared a painting done by her grandfather at age 80, along with a photograph of the subject of the painting. You must take a look!

I also suggest you take a look at another new blog by a new friend (and potential cousin) of mine, Evelyn Pecht. Evelyn is off to great start in her geneablogging career at IowaGirlMemories. If you're at least my age, you'll appreciate her story about the outhouse!
